Customer Advisory · 6 Sep 2026
Schedule reliability is under pressure
Global schedule reliability fell to 56.4% in July 2026, congestion remains uneven across major hubs, and delay-driven capacity pressure looks set to persist through September and into early October. Treat ETD/ETA as working estimates and reconfirm sailing options before committing delivery dates.

Public feeds go stale during disruption. GPI checks current space and routing before you book.
Schedule indications are checked manually
We no longer publish automated public vessel schedules. Our team requests point-in-time space and schedule indications directly before quoting.
Expect disruption buffers
Blank sailings, rollovers, tonnage pressure, and queues may shift ETD/ETA. We review alternatives instead of showing stale tables.
Ask for current options
Send origin, destination, cargo details, ready date, and preferred service. We will reply with available indications and practical next steps.
